Abstract

The legacy of war–cold and hot–has left scars on the landscapes of many countries in Eastern Europe in the form of damaged ecosystems and hazardous residues. Clean-up of these areas is necessary, but is an expensive and time consuming process. This paper examines approaches developed in similar efforts in the United States that may help to reduce costs and expedite safe solutions to these issues.
